Madam;
I have to advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 35329, it appears that Ebenezer Frye enlisted in the spring of 1775 and was a Lieutenant in the New Hampshire Troops. He was commissioned November 4, 1776 Captain, and served in Colonels John Stark and Joseph Cilley's First New Hampshire Regiment, until taken prisoner at the battle of Hubbardton, carried to Quebec where he was discharged on parole and later exchanged, he joined the same regiment and served until the winter of 1782; after which was on recruiting duty, by order of Colonel Henry Dearborn of the First New Hampshire Regiment, and after peace was signed, he was commissioned a Brevet Major.
He was allowed pension on his application executed

April 8, 1888, while a resident of Northport, Hancock County, Maine.
In 1880, soldier stated that he was seventy five years old, are referring to  children mentioned too , no names stated, and there is no mention of his wife.
Owing to a lack of clerical force available for such purpose, only two reports are furnished each inquirer.
Respectfully,
Commissioner.
